<br><br>
I certainly didn't know the story behind The Last Post. How very
sad.<br><br>
If any of you have ever been to a military funeral in which The Last
<br>
Post was played;<br>
This brings out a new meaning of it.<br><br>
Here is something everyone should know.<br><br>
Until I read this, I didn't know,<br><br>
We have all heard the haunting song, 'The Last Post.'<br>
It's the song that gives us the lump in our throats and usually tears in
<br>
our eyes.<br><br>
But, do you know the story behind the song?<br>
If not, I think you will be interested to find out about its humble <br>
beginnings.<br><br>
Reportedly, it all began in 1862 during the American Civil War, when
<br>
Union Army Captain Robert Ellicombe was with his men near Harrison's
<br>
Landing in Virginia .. The Confederate Army was on the other side of the
<br>
narrow strip of land.<br><br>
During the night, Captain Ellicombe heard the moans of a soldier who lay
<br>
severely wounded on the field. Not knowing if it was a Union or <br>
Confederate soldier, the Captain decided to risk his life and bring the
<br>
stricken man back for medical attention. Crawling on his stomach through
<br>
the gunfire, the Captain reached the stricken soldier and began pulling
<br>
him toward his encampment.<br><br>
When the Captain finally reached his own lines, he discovered it was
<br>
actually a Confederate soldier, but the soldier was dead..<br><br>
The Captain lit a lantern and suddenly caught his breath and went numb
<br>
with shock. In the dim light, he saw the face of the soldier.. It was
<br>
his own son. The boy had been studying music in the South when the war
<br>
broke out. Without telling his father, the boy enlisted in the <br>
Confederate Army.<br><br>
The following morning, heartbroken, the father asked permission of his
<br>
superiors to give his son a full military burial, despite his enemy <br>
status. His request was only partially granted.<br><br>
The Captain had asked if he could have a group of Army band members play
<br>
a funeral dirge for his son at the funeral.<br><br>
The request was turned down since the soldier was a Confederate.<br><br>
But, out of respect for the father, they did say they could give him
<br>
only one musician.<br><br>
The Captain chose a bugler. He asked the bugler to play a series of <br>
musical notes he had found on a piece of paper in the pocket of the dead
<br>
youth's uniform.<br><br>
This wish was granted.<br><br>
The haunting melody, we now know as 'The Last Post' used at military
<br>
funerals was born.<br><br>
The words are:<br><br>
Day is done. Gone the sun..<br>
From the lakes From the hills. From the sky. <br>
All is well. Safely rest. God is nigh.<br><br>
Fading light. Dims the sight. <br>
And a star. Gems the sky. Gleaming bright.<br>
From afar.. Drawing nigh. Falls the night..<br><br>
Thanks and praise. For our days.<br>
Neath the sun, Neath the stars, Neath the sk<br>
As we go. This we know. God is nigh</blockquote><br><br>
<blockquote class="cite" cite="" type="cite">I too have felt the chills while
listening to 'The Last Post'<br>
But I have never seen all the words to the song until now.<br>
I didn't even know there was more than one verse . I also never knew the
<br>
story behind the song and I didn't know if you had either so I thought
I'd pass it along.<br><br>
I now have an even deeper respect for the song than I did
before.<br><br>
Remember Those Lost and Harmed While Serving Their Country.<br><br>
Also Remember Those Who Have Served And Returned;<br>
And for those presently serving in the Armed Forces.<br><br>
Please send this on.<br><br>
do it for our soldiers..<br><br>
